This is my favorite time of the 2008 Euros because this is when honesty is at a minimum.

According to Portugal’s Football Federation President Gilberto Maidal, Chelsea holds the torch for “distracting the team” and claiming the team’s Neuchatel hotel was a hot spot for clubs contacting staff and players.

“When we came to the European (Championship) I was already absolutely certain Luiz Felipe Scolari would leave. It’s a pity Chelsea did not take care to advise the FPF the timing of their announcement that they were contracting him.”

Yeah, I can see why the Portuguese big wigs would be pissed about the timing, but what about the circus that is Cristiano Ronaldo and his obvious desire to leave Manchester United after refusing to confirm his intentions from the moment he stepped off the field in Moscow?

Or his marking on the Klose goal or Moutinho shocking miss or Paulo Ferreira’s supposed marking on his Chelsea teammate Michael Ballack or Scolari’s decision to wait on Nani’s substitution introduction until 67th minute when the only success the Portuguese were having against the Germans were on the flanks?

Doubt the blame game is over yet..
